What Is Bone Marrow Cell Therapy?
Bone marrow contains a variety of cells, proteins, growth factors, stem cells and other biological components involved in tissue repair. Bone marrow cell therapy involves the delivery of bone marrow concentrate directly into an area of damaged or injured tissue.
The goal is to create an environment that supports healing, helps regulate inflammation, and promote tissue repair.
How Is it Prepared?
Using imaging guidance, bone marrow is carefully collected from the superficial bone in the ṇpelvis and concentrated before being delivered to the targeted area.

What Can It Be Used For?
Bone marrow-based treatments are being studied and used in regenerative medicine for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Joint pain and osteoarthritis
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Certain spine and disc conditions
- Bone injuries
Treatment suitability depends on the individual, the underlying condition, and the available clinical evidence.
Could It Help Avoid Surgery?
For some patients, regenerative treatments may provide a less invasive option to consider before surgery. Bone marrow cell therapy may help address pain and inflammation while supporting the body's natural repair processes. It is also appropriate for patients who are not candidates for surgery or who want to delay surgery. Sometime surgery remains the appropriate treatment for certain injuries and conditions. A thorough evaluation with a qualified healthcare professional can help determine which treatment approach is most appropriate.
